In the endeavour to provide constantly improving services to those concerned, regarding expectations and opportunities in the workplace as well as the educational objectives of the degree course itself, a degree study course committee has been formed, composed of representatives of local, national and international institutions operating at various levels and with varying functions, in the field of international relations, co-operation, humanitarian aid, the promotion of a climate of peace, and conflict mediation.
This group of  operators and experts will most likely meet once or twice a year. Their tasks will be to give an educational and professional direction to the degree course, by collaborating with the course management group and with the lecturers to identify graduates’ real professional possibilities, professional figures of reference, emerging operational possibilities and potential work openings and the training required for them, as well as the most useful and efficacious educational and scientific pathways students can take in order to be fully prepared to face the professional situation in which they will find themselves once their education is completed.
